P Diddy Criticized for buying his son a car.

I can’t believe this article.

http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/14062010/36/diddy-defends-extravagant-maybach-gift-son-s-1-0.html

… For 2 reasons.

Is it really newsworthy whenever a celebrity buys an extravagant gift?
Are there really so few REAL news stories out there that this filler needs to be published?

I, for one could have lived my entire life not knowing that Diddy has bought a Limo for his son. It wouldn’t have bothered me one bit! And yet, I find myself reading banal “news” articles like this more and more often.

This isn’t news, people! Move on and grow up!

My second issue is centred around the meddling, preachy assholes that are telling Diddy he is in the wrong. What the fuck business is it of yours? Does anyone scrutinize the way you raise your kids? And do you sincerely believe the bullshit you’re running about a 16 year old being damaged in some way by having a £250,000 car bought for him?

Diddy has the right to spend his own money on whatever he wants. And furthermore, he has the right to raise his son any way he wants. Your problem is basically “That’s disgusting! Why can’t I afford a Limo?? Why didn’t MY dad buy me a quarter of a million pound car when I was 16??”

Diddy is rich! Just like thousands of other celebrities out there. Are you going to start scrutinizing all of their gifts? Celebrities buy huge houses for their parents all the time. Is that wrong too?

I have a great deal of admiration for Diddy’s responses in this matter. A lot of celebrities would have caved and fell into some scripted apology. But Diddy stood up to the media and said “Its not your place to tell me how to raise my child or to how spend my money.” You have to respect that.

I just have no idea how he resisted the urge to tell them to go fuck themselves.
